About MAKAI the label

THE STORY OF MAKAI BEGINS IN THE 70'S IN SOUTHERN ITALY. Makai is a young brand of a historical family owned knitwear factory based in the south of Italy with the goal of being impeccable in quality. Knitwear has always been our passion generation after generation. The first customers of the knitwear factory were mainly family members, friends and professionals from the town who were looking for a high-quality, km0 product. Month after month, thanks to the word of mouth, the small knitwear factory began to expand the trade towards the city center of Naples and the Amalfi coast. Hence the name “Makai” which in the Hawaiian language means “towards the sea”. Makai draws inspiration from nature, the mountains and everything that surrounds the knitwear factory with the aim of bringing the values of tradition towards infinite horizons such as those of the sea. Today it is managed by the family's third generation, who with pride, contemporary spirit and renewed enthusiasm carry on the development of the MAKAI collection.Read their story
